Setting up Debian from Windows via ssh:

• Download/Install Putty and connect to your Linux-System (get the IP with a networkscan app or with your Router)
• maybe you need to install sudo: Login with your root user (Username: root password: YOURROOTPASSWORD)

apt update

apt -y upgrade

apt -y install sudo

Grant your normal user sudo access; Replace "USER" with your normal username

usermod -aG sudo USER

systemctl restart

• Wait till reboot of Debian finished and reconnect Putty to login in with your normal user
• setup the serverfolder:

mkdir minecraft

• Download/Install WinSCP/FileZilla and connect to your Linux-System
• Login as your normal user
• navigate to /home/USER/minecraft Folder
• upload the extracted loop.sh, update.sh and start.sh
• switch back to putty:

cd minecraft/

chmod 0750 start.sh loop.sh update.sh

./start.sh

Enter your sudo password and the script will do the rest.

Change settings in the script: (Don't use the WinSCP Editor)

• Completely stop the server (Press ctrl+C when you logged into your Server console)
• Download the File with WinSCP/Filezilla and edit with Notepad++
• Save (and upload the file)
